The Male Advantage: A step by step blueprint for achieving Outlier Male status

A number of selection criteria allowed us to determine whether a study could be included in the meta-analysis. Accordingly, as a first step, the second author carefully read the abstract for each study to determine if the inclusion criteria were met. When fit with the inclusion criteria remained unclear after consultation of the abstract, the actual paper was consulted by the three authors. A number of exclusion criteria were also defined. Specifically, data based on special populations were not included. For example, studies that examined individuals with brain damage were not included, although when such studies reported on a control group that met the other criteria, the control group data were included. However, control groups that were sex-matched to a clinical group were excluded as they did not form random samples. Finally, to avoid duplication, when data from the same sample were reported in multiple articles, only the first report on these data was included. The present meta-analysis was designed to determine whether sex differences in visual-spatial working memory are significant for the overall sample and to identify the variables that moderate them. Examining these two questions would normally be quite straightforward as method to estimate overall effects and performing moderator analyses in the context of meta-analysis are well-established (Lipsey & Wilson, 2001). However, examination of the specific task used in assessing visual-spatial working memory requires consideration of multiple effect sizes obtained from the same sample of participants. These are non-independent effect sizes and this component violates an assumption of fixed and random effects meta-analysis (Borenstein et al., 2009). Reliance on one of these approaches to meta-analysis despite the violation of the assumption of independence among effect sizes would distort the statistical analyses, particularly the estimation of the standard errors (Bateman & Jones, 2003). In contrast, multilevel linear modeling (MLM) was designed to handle the type of hierarchical design represented in most meta-analyses without requiring independence of the effect sizes (Raudenbush & Bryk, 2002). In fact, it offers many advantages over fixed and random meta-analysis (Hox & de Leuw, 2003; Hox, 2008). Accordingly, MLM was used as the meta-analytic method here to allow a valid examination of the overall and moderator analyses.

The Male Advantage looks at the hidden advantage all males were born with. Somehow 99% of men have grown up unaware of their true power. Any man can attract any woman, it just requires awareness and the correct guidance. A man’s life is all about timing. If you look at all the male celebrities, you will find that they look better as they age. This is something that most men don’t use to their advantage. They party too hard in their 20s and miss out on the golden zone of a man’s life. This book will show you how to create the perfect life, then attract more high quality women than you could ever imagine. Learn to live life like a male celebrity, you may not be getting women now, but this books about to change all of that. ‘Men age like wine, women age like milk’ The Male Advantage: A step by step blueprint for achieving Outlier Male status by Kris Sturmey – eBook Details resulting in greater longevity in female baboons than in males ( Alberts and Altmann, 2003; Bronikowski et al., 2011).

The multilevel analysis was computed by examining data organized in two levels: effect sizes nested within samples. This structure resulted in 182 effect sizes (Level 1) nested within 98 samples (Level 2). All analyses were conducted with the HLM 7 software (Raudenbush, Bryk, Cheong, Congdon, & du Toit, 2011) with the significance level set at 0.05. Only moderators that produced significant results are elaborated upon. Task subgroups analyses Considering that the present meta-analysis consists mostly of data obtained from published studies and that our literature search strategy might have biased the retrieved material in favor of research that showed a significant sex difference, it is possible that the final sample might not be representative of the entire population of studies in existence (Rosenthal, 1979). Such a situation would potentially be the result of an inherent publication bias, reflecting the fact that studies producing nonsignificant results have a lower probability of publication. This problem, called the “file-drawer problem” (Sterling, 1959) has potential to bias meta-analytic results. Essentially, by considering mostly published studies, a meta-analysis might exaggerate the magnitude of the effect under consideration. All the tasks were programmed using Web-based applications available at: www.dweipsy.com/lattice ( Wei et al., 2012). Symbolic approximate arithmetic While men on the other hand have a very low biological cost (theoretically, one ejaculation can impregnate hundreds of women), we’re driven to spread our seed as far and wide as possible.

The male sporting advantage is rooted in biology. Males have bigger muscles than females. With no need to accommodate childbirth, their skeletons are better adapted for running. They are taller, have denser bones, bigger hearts and higher levels of haemoglobin, the molecule which shuttles oxygen around the body. Those advantages stem from male puberty, during which levels of testosterone—the main male sex hormone and the original anabolic steroid—rise sharply. With the importance of testosterone in mind, the International Olympic Committee ruled in 2015 that trans women would be allowed to compete in women’s events provided that they took drugs to suppress their testosterone levels for at least a year before the competition. The hope was that would remove the male advantage, allowing trans women to compete in their preferred category while keeping things fair for the biological females against whom they would be competing. Testing medium also was found to contribute significantly to variance in effect sizes, χ 2(2) = 6.82, p = 0.032, with estimated effect sizes also presented in Table 2. In this case, only computer testing produced effect sizes that are significantly different from zero based on the 95 % confidence intervals. Unreported medium and physical medium produced nonsignificant sex differences, although only the latter was significantly smaller than for the reference category of computer testing ( p = 0.026 for physical medium, p = 0.102 for unreported medium). Males outperformed females in approximate arithmetic and mental rotation, whereas females outperformed males in word semantic processing. There was no gender difference in spatial working memory and Raven’s Progressive Matrices. Science students were superior to arts students in approximate arithmetic, b = 2.43, t(551) = 2.55, p = 0.011. No difference across majors was found for other tasks: Raven’s Progressive Matrices, b = 0.52, t(6.48) = 0.59, p = 0.577; spatial working memory, b = 2.40, t(4.51) = 1.21, p = 0.286; word semantic processing, b = –0.86, t(6.36) = –0.63, p = 0.550. The interaction between gender and major was not significant [ b = –0.70, t(550) = –0.37, p = 0.715]. Lonsdorf EV, Ross SR. Socialization and development of behavior.
